So, since I'm guessing the Nexus S is at least somewhat similar to its Galaxy S cousins. What are the chances of getting some Gingerbread going over here?
I see it happening but not for a long while given we don't have 2.2 yet.

Just need a developer to tweak the Nexus S ROM once it's out.... Problem is we don't have any devs yet...
The Nexus S kernel source is now available.
http://androidcommunity.com/nexus-s-kernel-source-available-now-20101214/
I have a fascinate, but was curious what the continuum users were up to. Bad news is that the nexus S is gsm, so their kernal can't be ported over to any of the cdma galaxy phones due to irreconcilable differences in the RIL.
WARNING! RANT AHEAD!

UUUGGGHHHHH, When are us CDMA users gonna get a phone like that!!?!??!???!
I mean yeah, we've got better phones than ATT for the most part android wise, but still! This is is really bugging me! I already know the answer to my own question but AAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!
/rant
my best guess is that gingerbread/aosp etc will have to be built/completed for the fascinate...and hopefully it can trickle down to the continuum

Sorry to bust your bubble but that's total bull. The ril is inside the rom itself, only a few referenes to the gsm network are present in the kernel itself. The only problems your would run into would be externel sdcard support and the ticker being supported if at all.

Android 2.3.5 for Infuse and Galaxy S 4G
Posted by SamFirmware on September 22, 2011 at 3:30 PM
After long waiting finally the first updates to Android 2.3.5 for the Samsung Infuse and Galaxy S 4G
Any word on when we'll see this released for Sprint?
http://www.samfirmware.com/apps/blog/show/8830330-android-2-3-5-for-infuse-and-galaxy-s-4g-
We've source code now. I'm not sure of a release date but KoreysDaManWho (lol) said to expect it around the 22nd with an educated guess.

Hopefully there will be something about it in the Playbook tonight. Now we know who was holding it up.

I know the suspects. Was it Samsung because if the "big event" or was it Sprint because of the iPhone launch or was it either for another reason?

Based on the last rdf I figured Sprint was holding it up due to OTA testing. Now they allowed Samsung to release code which means it is all in Sprint's hans.

WHHHHHATTTT!!!! SPRINT! SPRINT! SPRINT! KHAN!...oops. Why Sprint no give us the GB treat?
What's the need for an OTA, when we have the GB source the custom Roms should be on there way

Without the OTA we can't have the new modem (if there actually is one). And if there were any ROM changes we won't know.
I seem to always get in trouble for making a thread, or it goes unnoticed. just a question on how much work would it be to port over a Verizon gnex rom to sprint gnex? I'm not dev at all but I imagine it would only be a radio and some other small things. Again I could be missing the big picture, I just got my sprint gnex yesterday and I can't wait for highly custom roms! If its not to advanced I'd love to take a crack at it if anyone would be willing to teach me how
Mods move it to wherever you want....

Too me it just seems that something needs to be done with the radio as of now flashing a verizon rom works fine except for the radio which is data and whatnot. As soon as they get aosp running with mms fixed and find the radio so if the radio gets borked then I am sure those developers of the verizon roms could hopefully just add compatibility with sprint.
That is all I know as of now

why would you want that? the sprint rom is better
What makes it better though? Aren't they literally the exact same phone just different networks? I'm glad its better if it is I almost bought the Verizon one hahah

One is not better then the other
In fact like i said above Verizon roms almost fully work on ours except the radio, once they get that fixed i am sure we can share roms with verizon people but who knows? Our device is still brand new and will be a little bit til we have as many roms as verizons forum
BTW don't flash verizons roms until there is a radio fix some poor people have broken radios and are waiting as people are looking to fix it.
just in case you were thinking about flashing one
There is nothing superior about Sprint roms that isn't remedied by AOSP.
Now if you are talking about zip roms, tsk, tsk.
Those are a crime against humanity...er, the Nexus The device is open enough to not warrant such a thing.

They use differen radio frequencies, which the CPUs are programmed for. They are incompatible. That's what causes the data problems. That's just about the only difference in terms of hardware.

Also is do we have a way to restore the radio if ours get borked?

I've seen successful LTE radio pull, but not CDMA yet.
No radio included on our rom, so when you get your device, look me up

so here is a question:
Once we have the cdma radio pulled and mms working would there be anyway that verizon roms with a little modification to the radio and whatnot to get them working easily. or do they have to redo the whole rom special?

The only real difference from Sprint to Verizon are the ril props outside of the mms issue.
So, no, not hard, but just as easy for the devs to simple compile for Sprint.

search the forums for the 100 other threads asking the same question you're asking... or just simply browse through the forums and look for what you like.
cyanogenmod9 is a good choice
Why tie yourself down for two years to Sprint? Should have gotten the GSM version. Cheap and carrier free.

please go in a dark room when you have the phone, slide down the brightness to lowest and see if you get any strange grainy stuff on the screen (mostly on white and grey color background)

I don't see what is unfamiliar about GSM. You get choice of whichever network you want in any country. Verizon and Sprint are CDMA so obviously a GSM Nexus wouldn't work on them.

Why would you suggest that? I'm already familiar with ADB, commands and such, so I can with no issues, however a toolkit seems quicker and easier, no??

congrats on getting a NEXUS!
I have tried 3 ROMs so far and highly recommend liquid and icsourcery.
I am patiently waiting for JB to evolve a bit more before taking the plunge.

I think it's a lot more fun to do stuff manually, and you actually know and control exactly what processes go on rather than just pressing a button and seeing the outcome...

I think it could be to appease the mass idiots out there. "I'm not getting 4G, but at least I'm getting 3G."
I think it might be so you don't realize how often you aren't getting 3G. When I've had that mod on other phones, I was amazed how often it would just say 1X, but it did explain why everything was taking so long. It might also get you to think everyone else's 3G network sux when you are roaming. "Verizon 3G is this bad?!? I'm never leaving."
I'm using a business PRL so I have true 3g roaming on Verizon which just ticks me off more when I get faster speeds on VZ.

I've been editing the smali trying to figure out with line needs to be removed. Either I missed it completely, or for once I'm not getting less than 3g speeds in my house.
Go to the Themes and Apps section, find the morphs, and flash the silk SystemUI. It has stock theme and it's got 1x/3g indicator enabled.

If you have a custom recovery you can flash the silk ui from the morphs and mods topic by Rompnit (found in themes and apps section) , not quite stock but it does have working 1X/3G built in.
